The Tale of Veronica the Ring

It didn't take them long to think of a plan. It was quite simple. The doll simply reached down into her pocket and threw Veronica on the floor. Veronica was so sad that she didn't even shout at this rude treatment. "Soon the Royal servant will come and squash me. That will be the end and it will be good."

But that didn't happen.

When the Royal servant came, he saw something sparkling on the floor. He looked down and was quick puzzled to see the Royal ring on the ground of the new Royal Storage room. "How did this get here?" he thought. "His Majesty will certainly be happy to have you back. Since the Princess had stop crying, this little ring had become his chief agony." The Royal servant then picked up Veronica to carry her to the King. But before Veronica left, she thanked all the gadgets for the help and she wished them the best.

The Royal servant was correct because the King was happy to see Veronica again. That much was clear from the wide smile on his face and his shout of joy. He placed Veronica on his pinky finger and playfully scolded her for leaving. Veronica took no offense. She was happy to be back and promised the Royal throne and the Royal crib she would never look down upon anything ever again.

Which she didn't.

And she lived happily ever after...

The End
